Dental Check Up Showed Dark Spot On The Roof Of Mouth. Sent Biopsy For Analysis. What Could Be Wrong?

I went for my 6 mo. routine dental checkup today. The hygenist noticedb a dark spot on the roof ofmy mouth. The dentist used a light instrument to determine the character of the spot, photoed it to show me and took a biopsy to send for analysis. He said that he had the equipment to remove it based on the results. This office is state of the art, but I know that he does not hesitate to refer if necessary. Can you tell me what to expect?


Thank you,
Carolyn

Hi,
Without doing any guess work, wait till report comes.
There might be a simply a dark point or it might be some growth.
If you are a smoker or having habit of chewing tobacco then it matters.
Nothing to worry, let report comes.
Ok and bye.
